[QUOTE="Idaho Trecker, post: 2964249, member: 67706"] I've killed a decent amount of elk and deer with the 208 from 100 yards out of a 300 Dakota to 700 yards. Shot even more with the 208 out of 300sherman shorts. I love the accuracy and terminal performance of the 208 from the A max model to the eld m. That said the 225 eldm has been great for me also but have shot less game with it. I did kill an aoudad at 565 yards with it. Also my farthest animal taken was at 1103 yards (mule deer) with a 300ss and it passed through with plenty of damage. Deer didn't go more than 30 yards. The next day I upped myself and killed a nice bull elk at 1113 yards with same setup. Again with even more meat/bone/skin part of the bullet exited. Either would be a great choice with that much powder under it even in the short barrel. I would personally go for the 225 with your setup. [/QUOTE]
